Synopsis/Details

The series follows Maria, a highly skilled psychiatrist assigned to evaluate the mental state of Sebastian, a quiet, enigmatic man accused of kidnapping and murdering a young woman whose body was found in a remote forest.

During their sessions, Sebastian does not present himself as a conventional criminal. Instead, he treats fear as a mental ritual, transforming clinical interviews into a disturbing psychological game. He speaks in cryptic phrases and unsettling philosophies about “noise” and “silence,” unsettling Maria and gradually destabilising the process itself.

As the tension escalates, a ruthless investigator named Rourke enters the case, launching a brutal official interrogation that places immense pressure on both Sebastian and Maria—unearthing dark fragments of the past and hidden connections.

Slowly, Maria begins to question not only Sebastian’s guilt, but her own safety. Is she being manipulated? Was she chosen deliberately? And most disturbingly—what if the truth is far more dangerous than she imagined?

The Writer: imad chelloufi

I started my career in a country that does not value talent. I wrote several plays, short films, and local songs over time, and since 2007, I have been in this field, waiting for an offer from a film company in my country. I even turned down offers from America. In return, I faced mockery, was ridiculed because of my state, and was called crazy and poor. But this did not prevent me from persevering and not giving up. I used that madness to create crazy characters that are now studied in international psychology schools. But they do not know that this "madman" wrote four movies and TV shows in one month. They do not know that this "madman" can write a 10-episode series in a single week. They… Go to bio
